Title: What's a Private Kyoto Day Tour Like? A Licensed Guide's Report on Gion and Fushimi Inari
The guests came from Oceania. The travel agency had reserved a kimono rental shop for 12:00. I thought they would change into the kimono and continue the tour that way, but they said they only wanted to take photos. Since they had gone to the trouble of wearing kimono, and since I always carry a camera and Gion was nearby, we spent some time doing a kimono photo session there. We skipped Nishiki Market, which had originally been planned, and instead went to Fushimi Inari, which one of the guests had wanted to visit. We climbed up to Kumataka-sha, and finally enjoyed some ice cream before parting ways. A notable stop on the tour was Fushimi Inari Shrine. Fushimi Inari Taisha is one of Kyoto's most famous shrines, dedicated to Inari, the deity of rice and prosperity. It is best known for its thousands of vermilion torii gates that form winding paths up the sacred Mount Inari. Visitors can walk through these tunnels of gates, each one donated by individuals or businesses, as they ascend the mountain, passing smaller shrines such as Kumataka-sha along the way.

I’m Ryoichi Kazuma and my nickname is “Kazz”. I live in Kyotanabe city next to Kyoto city. I want guests to enjoy Kyoto by seeing and experiencing not only from outside but also from inside. I offer various information from daily matters to traditional cultures. Most destinations in Kyoto are located on the eastern side or the western side. As I want to guide guests to as many destinations as possible, I make an efficient itinerary and recommend a taxi use to save time. Additionally, I take pictures at various spots and finally share the link to my storage. By doing so, guests can download their favorite pictures from my storage. Please enjoy Kyoto night and day!
